[QUOTE="mmarz4evr, post: 235947, member: 7211"] Hey Jeff- Happy New Year. Hope all is well. Quick Question for you- I tried a practice Rivet the other day- i have a 1/4 x 7/8 solid aluminum rivet. When i attempted to buck the Rivet, it was a lot tougher to get it to compress than i anticipated. I had the gun set with pretty good pressure, and it started to compress but I thought it should happen faster with less effort than it did. I'm thinking a. the rivet is to thick for the gun to effectively compress it. or b. the rivet was way too long for it to compress correctly. It was two thin pieces of aluminum angle and did not nearly give me a 3x ratio, The rivet was probably 5 or 6x as long as the pieces I was riveting together. Should I try this process again with a thinner shorter rivet? 3/16 [/QUOTE]
